I feel defeated and I need to stay strong. What comes first staying strong or having your confidence?

I guess I just need to vent so I might actually go to sleep tonight.

This NB is full of surprises and unfortunately the past.

Here's to a few happier days

I was misunderstood at work the other day...

It is difficult when all of this is wrapped up together,,, our confidence, being strong, putting our best foot forward each day,,

Keep Calm and Happy On!

I could be wrong but I think it varies. Sometimes we are more confident than at other times. At times when we feel such defeat I think we try to stay strong until we get our confidence back. You know... the whole, "fake it till you make it" thing.

I'm sorry things are tough for you lately. Don't be defeated. Pick your awesome self up and keep moving forward!

I get this. I'm a bit goofy and make jokes a lot of people don't get.

I've had to tell myself that as far as relationships go, I will be myself and that if someone doesn't "get" me, then they're not the person I should be with.
